Reviews

[Guthrie C. · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book does a really good job explaining all of the key concepts behind web software in plain language for a young audience (4th - 7/8th grades). It starts with the networking basics (client/server, DNS, HTTP) and adds on web page creation (HTML, CSS, PHP, JS). It’s illustrated and character driven approach aim to cement the concepts with its audience. The book concludes with a “build a website basic tutorial” which promoted the author’s coding academy company, but it’s not overwhelming promotional - very instructive. The bonus is a short section on cyber-bullying, cyber-predators (called bad guys) and a sharp privacy tutorial and guidelines for the young reader, which is what earned it 5-stars.
